I use the cover from Airhead parts. It's a good snug fitting cover. Breathable material, no inside flocking. It spent about a year and a half on my tin top while I was working on the new engine harnesses and hoses. My mistake was to use the lock grommets as the cinch points for an underbelly rope. I thought it would flap less if I cinched thing tight. As it turns out you can't beat mother nature, the wind was enough to move the rope enough to wear into the paint on the rocker panels. One thing nice is the 4 year warranty. Into the second year, while "stretching" it on, I tore it. I called Airhead and described the issue, they asked me to send pictures, I did and they sent me a new cover. Here's a picture. https://tinyurl.com/ybs7as6l

Thanks all for the replies and mouse advice. I think I will go with Noah car cover. My Westy will spend a few months in the same storage place I kept it for five months earlier this year with no mouse problems, fingers crossed. |
